wednesday agenda : notes on camp, editorial invasion
- It seems that one time only performances come but once a year. When David Schmader’s legendary real-time commentary for Paul Verhoeven’s Showgirls was added to the 2003 DVD, he threatened to hang up the act for good. Tonight, he resurrects it at the Triple Door. The film, which follows the rise of a potato-chip-loving dancer, is a perfect example of the “So Bad It’s Good” aesthetic; Schmader’s running commentary makes it all the more hilarious. [upcoming]
- Tonight is the first stage in the all-out takeover of Seattle by Editors. If you close your eyes and mentally squint, you could easily confuse them with Interpol, except with legitimate British accents. They play a free in-store session at the Queen Anne Easy Street Records at 6. Tomorrow they join stellastarr* for a sold-out performance at Chop Suey, which they’ll follow with a DJ set.
